What is Blindspotting about?

Blindspotting is an American comedy-drama television series borne out of a continuation of the storyline from the 2018 film with the same title. Set in Oakland, the narrative picks up six months after the movie's events and centers around Ashley, who is on the verge of a middle-class life when an abrupt turn of events sees her partner and the father of her child, Miles, incarcerated. Thrown into a humorous yet troubling existential quandary, Ashley is compelled to move in with her mother-in-law alongside her quirky half-sister-in-law. The domestic dynamics and the community's response to her circumstances propel the story, offering a blend of humor with the stark realities of life's unpredictability. Created by Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs, who were integral to the original film, the series features performances by Jaylen Barron, Candace Nicholas-Lippman, and Benjamin Earl Turner, with Casal at the helm as showrunner. Since its premiere on Starz on June 13, 2021, Blindspotting has woven a relatable tale of resilience in the face of disruption, examining themes of family, identity, and systemic challenges with a comedic touch.

The first episode of Blindspotting aired on June 13, 2021 and the most recent episode to air was on May 26, 2023.
